I just finished The Salmon of Doubt (never got to it when it came out), which was terrific, especially if you are a Hitchhiker's Guide/Douglas Adams fan, and I am currently reading You Suck: A Love Story by Christopher Moore -- so far, it is pretty hilarious and a great, original vampire story.

I was laughing so hard when I read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_I_Won_The_War by Patrick Ryan that I had tears in my eyes. There are many books that make you smile, even chuckle sometimes, but there are only very few ones that induce frequent bouts of wild, uncontrollable laughter.

If you like cozy mysteries, read "Murder with Peacocks" by Donna Andrews. It's the start of a series, however it's not available as an ebook (the last three in the series are, though). A female blacksmith is the maid-of-honor in three weddings (her mother, best friend and brother) in one summer and while this is going on a murder occurs next door (her stepfather-to-be's sister-in-law). Whenever I re-read this book, I'm dying of laughter.

Great recommendations, tks -- funny that you mention P.G. Wodehouse -- the first I heard of him was actually last week, while reading The Salmon of Doubt, where Adams mentions him as his favorite author

Woody Allen (if you can get over the fact that he married his stepdaughter, which is a really weird thing to do) has written some very funny books.
